I received these shoes a week ago and the soles were separated. I reached out to CS which kindly refunded me however, I am wondering if they are fake? They don’t have the regular quality and the box has Chinese writing on it. A brochure was inside that was also in Chinese.
I translated it using chatGPT and it says:
Distributor: On Sports Goods (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.
• Address: No. 207, Guozi Road, Huangpu District, Shanghai, China (Honghui Wisdom 8, Building 1, Floor 1)
Hello. From the Woot buyer:
Most On Running shoes are manufactured in China (please see below). We have received and reviewed invoices from our suppliers before that confirm authenticity.
and from our vendor:
A big company like ON has many country distributions and channels. This shoe was likely earmarked for China market. When it did not sell they pulled it back and packaged it together and sold it to us at a bulk discount.
While I understand why this could alarm a buyer, the quality of ON is hard to replicate and the Chinese translation indicates ON Running is the owner of this Chinese company
Please see below based on my google research
